Pancreatits and new dog food

Well my year and half old chessie gave us quite a scare last week. Vomiting and lethargic. A visit to our vet then a long drive to the emergency vet a day later $2600 and she has Pancreatits. Well now we have to go to a low fat less then 12% but 8% or lower would be better the vet says. so now I have to figure out what food to use and i have to supplement with protein for the fat any ideas out there

I have never understood why you can have the best trained dogs in the world, but when you put two dogs together the act like they have a half a brain between the both of them.

I second Annamaet Lean. If your vet agrees, you can add coconut oil. This fat is often used because the body metabolizes it without pancreatic enzymes, more like a carbohydrate.

Annamaet Lean is a 30% protein food of very high quality that should do well. Wellness is good too and its much easier to find. You should be able to manage this without compromising quality.

Your vet didn't start her on Viocase or Pancrazyme with a diagnosis of Pancreatis?
